Meester and Jacobs have an easy, authentic chemistry, but there isn't enough structure or storytelling thrust to sustain interest in the plot: Triumphs, calamities and reunions keep happening, but none contains real dramatic heft. December 4, 2014 | Full Review…

The charming story about millennial confusion is deftly written by Susanna Fogel (who also directs) and Joni Lefkowitz, and the dialog actually sounds like the way a pair of smart and funny twentysomethings might really talk. December 4, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

On paper Life Partners has what it takes to be a gem of a character-based indie, but as executed, I'm sorry to report, this movie borders on insufferable. December 4, 2014 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Life Partners exudes with twisty complications that are both enlightening and gently heartbreaking. Messner and Jacobs are fabulously endearing as the joined-by-the-hip besties coping with love and life lessons while dealing with the high expectations.

It may not be boundary pushing, or revelatory cinema, but Life Partners is easy digestible, inoffensive and just a charming film. The performances are good, the script is solid, and the message is true: best friends are forever. November 8, 2018 | Full Review…

The focus is ultimately on Sasha and Paige's friendship, and how Paige's successes cause Sasha to reflect on her own failures, though being queer is not among them; it's just who she is. August 24, 2017 | Full Review…
